Sagar Public School Saket Nagar, Rohit Nagar and Gandhi conducted an Aspire session with Chandrakant Lahariya on Aware parents are better motivators. Lahariya is an Indian medical doctor, epidemiologist vaccinologist, writer, public health and policy expert. Chandrakant Lahariya interacted and aspired over 450 parents of school and highlighted on opening of schools will rebegin the learning process.
Lahariya motivated the parents and addressed the challenges teachers and parents faced in the beginning of the pandemic. He highlighted the benefit of schooling and re-imaged the learning process of a child who comes to school. He said, “The cells in brain are developed at early age which remains constant through our lifespan. Neurons present in our brain form millions of connections and it’s all about the connection which a child makes in early ages decides the ability of the child.
The connection in brain is formed with stimuli of brain and schools’ stimuli the child’s brain forming various connections, re-connections with a learning process and that’s why school must reopen. He narrated in pandemic as how schools and teachers transformed the brain using stimuli actions as foundation of learning and learnings going beyond the textbooks.
He guided the parents on resuming the learning process at the earliest by stimuli. He highlighted as early age groups primary schools should open first to foster faster connections to fill the learning gap and learning loss. He scientifically shared as why children of early age are at low risk of infection mainly due to higher level of active neutrophils the epithelial cells of nose, ACE-2 receptors in lungs underdeveloped and high expression of gene encoding MND5 receptor as against that of adults depending on antibody-based response which is longer.
He narrated, School openings will lead to maximum stimuli of brain and will establish more connections each day with learnings to cover up the loss at the foundation stage with personal guidance. It will also be the bridge to connect from virtual world to real world. He related on Aware parents can be great motivators by engaging children with a dialogue to develop their receptors from under develop mode and the schools creative and extracurricular activities enhancing their risk taking abilities, overcome of fears to a re-learning face-face-mode.
